No connect after upgrade

Post by bernd67 » Thu Mar 09, 2023 8:28 am

Hello Forum,

Problem:

i updated just at the moment openvpn .. with new version openvpn-2.6.0-1005-amd64.msi
from
https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/
but get afterwards error:
no connection
services openvpn exited with error exit code 1
check log file for details.

Questions:
1.) Where to find logfile?
2.) I know i have intel Platform, but i used amd File, cause i did not find Intel in Name in any available setup File. Reason?
3.) It did run so far without problems. Key File and config Files are ok as i imagine
4.) i am not sure which Version i had before.. can i check that but think removed completly in fresh install?
5.) Where to find a maybe working setup File?
6.) Where to find the most recent openvpn Gui Setup too?

Thx for any help.

Solved, only removed --ncp disable out of both config Files .ovpn - cause was depreciated!

but new Problem:
Thu Mar 9 22:19:14 2023 DEPRECATED OPTION: The option --secret is deprecated.
Thu Mar 9 22:19:14 2023 DEPRECATION: No tls-client or tls-server option in configuration detected. OpenVPN 2.7 will remove the functionality to run a VPN without TLS. See the examples section in the manual page for examples of a similar quick setup with peer-fingerprint.

-->> how to configure TLS?

Found Logfile .. there are two path.. the one is
C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\log

the second..
right click on the openvpn symbol and choose "Show Logfile"..
